PROGRAM FOR FAMILY STUDY OF S. S. LESSONS.
SABBATH.—(After
church services or at the close of Sabbath.) Review
the lesson of the day by relating in detail the substance of the lesson, or re-
peating the lesson scripture. Read the lesson for the intermediate division
for next Sabbath from the
Little Friend,
and learn the memory verse.
SUNDAY.—Study
the first half of the lesson in the following manner:
s. Assign a verse to each member of the family.
2.
Then read the lesson scripture, carefully considering what each verse
says before reading the next. Be sure to have each member of the family
understand the meaning of all the words in each verse.
3.
Select two verses to be committed to memory during the day.
4.
Repeat the memory verse.
MONDAY.—Review
the portion of the lesson already studied.
i. Give each an opportunity to repeat the two verses that were to be
committed to memory the previous day.
2.
Let one ask the questions from the LESSON QUARTERLY, and others
answer in turn in the words of the Scripture.
3.
Study the last half of the lesson in the same manner that the first
half was studied on Sunday.
TUESDAY.—Repeat
the verses already committed to memory, and ask
the questions on the last half of the lesson, being sure that all understand
the questions and the meaning of the words used in them.
Select two more verses to be committed to memory during the day.
WEDNESDAY.—Repeat
the verses committed to memory, and review
the entire lesson by asking the questions in the LESSON QUARTERLY, the
Instructor,
or the
Little Friend,
as may be thought best. The number and
age of the children would usually indicate, which would be best.
THURSDAY.—Read
the lesson notes in the QUARTERLY and those in
the
Sabbath School Worker,
and any other helps that may be accessible, and
review the intermediate lesson in the
Little Friend,
or the one found in the
LESSON QUARTERLY. Repeat the verses committed to memory.

story in their own language.
3.
Let each one repeat as much of the lesson scripture as possible.
4.
Give each one the privilege of questioning others upon the lesson.
SABBATH
—Review practical truths of the lesson, and relate personal
experiences in which the truths of the lesson have been found helpful.
(This program is simply suggestive and can of course be varied to suit circumstances,
but we do urge upon all the necessity of thorough, regular, systematic study of the Scriptures
as given in our Sabbath-school lessons.)
